Apples to apples I feel that the miata/fit combo is a much better deal for fun than a 135. Both of those cars are lightweight and fun to drive.
The Fit is much more practical than a 135 (better fuel economy, more space, cheaper to maintain)
The Miata is more fun than a 135 (convertible, lightweight, nimble handling).
I never compared the 135's practicallity to a miata; only a miata to a sport bike.
True, the 135 is greater than either car individually but combined they are better. The BMW will be faster on a track but if you are looking for fun everyday at LEGAL speeds I argue it is hard to beat a miata. You can't mock a miata until you have driven one; having driven and owned both i can honestly saw the miata was more fun.
Last thought..image of the cars. Miatas might be gay but sportbike drivers have a negative image as well as BMW drivers. Just have to pick your poison. I prefer gay over the alternative (ever here about the only difference between a porcupine a BMW?)
